The XHD3000 includes an innovative menu system with cool touch controls. Navigate menus, and change settings using several touch gestures on the side of monitor that control the contextual pop-up menu. The pop-up menu aligns with the illuminated controls for making contextual choices.

To get the maximum resolution of 2560 x 1600 out of the XHD3000, you have to have 1) a video card that supports dual-link DVI-D output, and 2) a dual-link DVI-D cable. Using the VGA, HDMI, and single-link DVI-D connections, you will get a maximum of 1900 x 1200 resolution. 1080p is supported over component video. Independent of the input source, all video will be upscaled from its native resolution and output as 2560 x 1600.
